You: The Owner's Manual: An Insider's Guide To The Body that Will Make You Healthier and Younger

I read the 2005 version and the recent nutritional studies have debunked much of the advice recommended by this book. This is my own fault for delaying reading a book I bought 13 years ago. However, I would still expect to learn a bit about the human anatomy, but the content is so simplistic and rife with pop culture references and jokes that it's basically useless for this purpose as well. In a drawing of the hip bones, the pelvis is just referred to as "Elvis" and the superior pubic ramus is referred to as "superior public ramen (mmm!)". My 6th grade human body picture book did a more competent job.
I would have preferred to have nutritional advice that doesn't revolve around taking supplements. There is a nice cookbook at the end but I found it out of place since very little time is spent on the nutritional value of many of the ingredients compared to the time spent on supplements.
There is still a lot of good health advice, even if the 2005 version is a bit outdated, but I still would have preferred a technical book focused on helping me learn then one focused on making me laugh.
